Slide 24: Mode of Treatment Administration
in Persons Reported with TB, United States, 1993-2000. In
1993, the reporting areas began collecting information about mode of treatment
administration on the individual TB case report form. This slide is based
on data received at CDC by April 2003. Treatment administered as only
directly observed therapy (DOT) increased from approximately 22% in 1993
to 52% in 2000, the latest year with available data. The proportion of
patients who received at least some portion of their treatment as DOT
(based on combining the percentage of patients who received only DOT and
the percentage for whom some portion was self-administered), also increased.
In 2000, the proportion of patients who received at least some portion
of their treatment as DOT was 78%. |
